My journey into the fitness industry
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Kettlebell Queen's first blog post! I want to tell you little bit about myself, and how I
became the personal trainer I am today.
I was always active as a kid, participating in soccer, field hockey, and ice hockey. I did sports camps in the off season and enjoyed running three days a week. Once I graduated High School, I stopped participating in sports, and that's when I turned to the gym.
I worked out 3-4 days a week all through college, working out in gyms, at home and loved workout videos. I graduated from Lasell College with a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism. After working in the hotel industry for seven years, I decided to pursue my passion for fitness. I studied for my ACE Certification while working in hotels, and once I got certified I started working in commerical gyms.
I worked at Bally Total Fitness, Gold's Gym, Stow (Global) Fitness, and now I am on my own working at Tornado Gym. I learned so much from each place I went, developing my unique style, and building up a good clientele by customizing workouts to their needs, and building connections with them.
I am always searching for more and better ways to build and design workout programs. I have done that by seeking out advanced certifications, reading books, articles, and going to fitness conferences whenever I can, and take pride in being the best personal trainer I can be

Why start a fitness program in January?
Hey guys! Happy New Year to you all. I hope the New Year finds you well & you had a great holiday season.
Every year at this time is when a lot of people make their New Year's resolution about fitness and health. This is great, but why this time of year?
The new year brings new beginnings, hope and a fresh start. As the year begins to drag on, people sometimes slip into old habits, whether it be making poor choices with nutrition, or going MIA at the gym, picking up old vices, and not taking care of their bodies in general. That is why the New Year is a good time for a reset, and to start a workout and nutrition program. With the new year comes optimism and hope, and that can help to fuel the motivation to begin something new.
Turning the page on the calendar is also good for the mind and the body. When the mind and the body is in sync it is easier to start and keep consistent with a fitness program. When body the mind and body work together, it can not only help with motivation, but it can also help with adherence to a plan or program.
Another reason to start a fitness program in January is the increased activity in gyms and fitness centers. With more people starting fitness routines this time of year, it may be easier to find a workout buddy or join new and fun exercise classes.
With New Year's resolutions comes new goals. If you are an athlete and want to become better at your sport, if you have an upcoming life event that you want to look good for, or be able to run around with your kids and not get fatigued, this time of year would be a good starting point.
Whatever your motivation is, new beginning, a goal that you have set for yourself, or to just be healthier overall, January is the perfect time to start a fitness program!
